DISSATISFIED WORKERS
ARBITRATION COURT BLAMELESS. AWARD ARISES FROM CONFER- j ENCE. j J (Special (to “Northern Advocate.”) AUCKLAND, This Day. The report wired through on Tues- ( day, that the dairy factory assistants in the Pahiatua district are dissatisfied with their position under the recent award of the Arbitration Court, was referred to Mr P. Halley, Conciliation Commissioner for the North Island yesterday morning.
Mr Halley, who has just returned f rom the South, said that the Arbitration Court was not responsible for the award. The dairy employees and their employers had recently discussed in conciliation, at which Mr Halley presided, wages and general conditions of employment in dairy factories, and had arrived at a complete agreement to both workers and employers. “The agreement,” said Mr Halley, “had in the usual way been taken along to the Court and embodied in the terms of an award. If a mistake has been made and cither party is dissatisfied it is not the fault of the Arbitration Court, but of the representatives who reach the agreement.”
